| Graduate Admission
Each academic department determines graduate eligibility requirements
for their own area(s) of study. In general, however, a graduate
candidate must submit the following:
- a completed Application
for Graduate Admission
- one official transcript
of all post-secondary coursework, including verification of conferred
degrees
- individual departments
may require additional documentation such as letters of recommendation
and standardized test scores. Applicants are encouraged to refer
to the departmental information sections of this Bulletin for
further information.
All candidates for graduate admission must have a bachelor's degree
(or its equivalent) from an accredited institution. Candidates are
urged to apply for admission no later than one month before the
beginning of the semester. Most academic departments have a rolling
admission policy whereby a student is notified of his or her admission
decision as soon as all credentials are received and reviewed. Some
academic disciplines, however, have specific application deadlines.
Current deadline information is available by contacting the Brentwood
Campus Admissions Office, at 631-273-5112 ext 26;

Admission Status
Entering graduate Brentwood Campus students will be admitted
in one of the following categories:
o
Full Matriculant: A student who has successfully satisfied all admission
requirements and has been officially accepted into a degree program.
o
Limited Matriculant: A student who must satisfy certain requirements
before he or she may be considered for full matriculation.
o
Non-Matriculant: A student who does not satisfy one or more of the
entrance requirements and who may enroll, but may not pursue a degree.
Visiting Students
It is suggested that Visiting Students secure written permission
from their primary educational institution granting permission to
register for courses at Long Island University. This letter should
specify which courses will be accepted in transfer upon successful
completion of coursework. Visiting students are permitted to register
for only one semester unless they have authorization for extended
enrollment from the Brentwood Campus Admissions Office.
Transfer Credit
Graduate courses taken at other institutions before admission to
the Brentwood Campus may be credited to the graduate degree if they
are pertinent to the plan of study. Requests to transfer credits
must be made at the time of admission, and should be accompanied
by official transcripts of all relevant graduate coursework. Transfer
credit is normally limited to 6 credits for which the student has
received a grade of (B) or better. Transfer credit is not recorded
on the student's permanent record until he/she has completed 15
credits in residence at the Brentwood Campus. The appropriate chairperson
and dean must approve all requests for transfer credit.
Admission to Class
Admission to graduate classes does not imply that a student has
been accepted to a degree-granting program. Acceptance for degree
candidacy is contingent upon successful completion of all admission
and academic requirements.
